The Italian sparkling wine made in the Prosecco region is Prosecco.
The name refers to a protected Italian wine designation associated with northeastern Italy, especially Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Most bottles are sparkling (spumante) or lightly sparkling (frizzante), although a small still style called tranquillo is also permitted.
Prosecco is primarily made from the Glera grape. Italy officially changed the grape’s name from Prosecco to Glera in 2009, helping reserve “Prosecco” for wine connected to its designated geographic production areas. The village of Prosecco near Trieste supplied the name, even though much modern production occurs far to the west.
Unlike Champagne, which is usually made with a second fermentation in the bottle, most Prosecco uses the Charmat, or Martinotti, method: the second fermentation happens in large pressurized tanks. This generally preserves fresh, fruity aromas and allows efficient production. Asti is another Italian sparkling wine, while Cava is associated with Spain; neither is the wine named in the question.
